THE COLONEL'S STORY.
[Continued from Page 15.1
but if he don't treat you right, I
could pull his heart out. When
your dear ma was dying she called
me to her and said, 'Venus, take
care of my child.' 'Ain't I done
it? God knows I have tried.
" 'Yes, mammy, you have taken
a mother's place, and how I thank
you for it.'
" 'Well, then, don't keep noth
ing from me.'
"Felicita then told her all about
her engagement, of all her hopes
and fears.
"Aunt Venus listened attentive
ly and when Felicita finished she
mournfully shook her head and
said, "I am afraid it won't do."
" '\Why, don't you think that he
is the right sort of man?'
" 'Oh, don't think that I have
anything against him; I think that
he is a fine gentleman, no poor
white trash about him, but I know
you don't think alike, you don't
feel alike, you wasn't raised alike.
Where are all of our young men?
There is young Mars Prudehm,
young Mars Juge, and I might
name ever so many of our young
men that would actually give their
lives for you.'
"1'I am sorry you object so
strenuously. Papa thinks well of
him or he would not have passed
by all these young men and asked
him to be my guardian.'
" 'There is a heap of difference
detween a husband and a guardian,
child; your pa knows that he is as
honest as the days are long, and as
true as steel. I have always heard
that it was a good plan to go as far
from home to hunt a husband or
wife.'
" 'Ha, ha ' said Felicita, 'I did
not know there was any hunting in
the case; it seems as though fate
or providence had thrown us to
gether.'
" 'Humph!' said Aunt Venus, 'I
hope you ain't got hold of no such
ideas as that.'
" "Why, mammy, don't you be
lieve that God ordaines all things?'
" 'No, child, of course not. My
old master was a Presbyterian and
he used to talk that way. One day
I heard him say at the table that
God had ordained that certain ones
were 4o be saved and certain ones
were to be lost. His oldest son,
Mars John, said God did not direct
anyone to destruction.'
S"What did his father say ?'
" 'Slapped him.'
"' Why did he do that ?'
" *Well, I reckon that was the
only answer he could give. No,
honey, don't you take up no such
ideas as that, for everyone is the
architect of his own fortune.'
" 'But don't you believe that
theme is a providence that shapes
our ends, however, rough we hew
them 1'
" 'No, you got that backwards;
we do the shaping, however rough
they may be hewn.'
